According to Variety, Focus is the story of a veteran grifter who partners with a who’s new to the life of conning. It was written by the creators of Crazy Stupid Love, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, and will be directed by them as well.

Warner Bros. originally were looking to cast Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in the flick, but those plans fell through, allowing for Ben and Kristen to be considered.

Are you excited that Kristen is lining up such a high-profile movie, HollywoodLifers?
